‘Anyone who has more than two children is irresponsible,’ UK doctor tells young mom of two

REALLY ????? What hole did this hater come out of? Does his view reflect that of experts in the economic, psychological, medical or social fields. NO! He's just someone who wishes his opinions were law.

A young British mother has said she was lectured by a general
practitioner (GP) who told her she had been “irresponsible” for bringing
two children into the world, and that Britain should adopt a population
control policy like China’s. Mother of two Charlotte Comer, 21, said
that she went to see Dr. Justin Landen on Monday for a prescription for
antibiotics to treat her tonsilitis, but came away in tears when he told
her that Britain needs an official One Child policy.

She told the Exeter Express and Echo
that he gave her the prescription and then launched into a tirade,
saying that Britain is overpopulated. He later called to apologize but
Comer has launched a complaint to the National Health Service and the
Hill Barton Surgery in Exeter, Devon.

Comer, who is the mother of two small boys, said, “I was gobsmacked. I
never cry, but as soon as I got out I just burst into tears. I was so
angry.” She said that she told the doctor that she didn’t know why the
conversation was relevant to her situation. He had asked her if she was
planning on having more children. She replied that she was considering
it, but not until she and her children’s father were married. “I started explaining that we both came from big families so we’d like
more children – and then he said he didn’t think coming from big
families justified having more children.

“He then started talking about how the country is overpopulated and
anyone who has more than two children is irresponsible. He started going
on about how this country should be like China where people are only
allowed one child.”

Comer said that the doctor added that the government would not be
giving out welfare benefits for much longer. “I told him my partner
works 70 hours a week as a courier and I am on maternity leave, and we
weren’t on benefits. I don’t think he knew what to say to that, so he
asked me why we would want more children if my partner works 70 hours a
week and doesn’t have enough time with his children already.
“He used that as a reason for us not to have more children,” Comer told the media.

The Express and Echo published a statement from the NHS that said, “Dr.
Landen offered advice regarding ongoing contraception. There was no
intention whatsoever to cause offence or distress and Dr. Landen
apologises if this has upset his patient. “Dr. Landen’s priority as a GP is always to meet the health needs of
his patients and at no point was this advice ill intended.”

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

WHO IS THE CARIBBEAN CATHOLIC

All my life I have been a rebel of some sort. Being a vocal Catholic in today's society is being a rebel. Many don't like you or your opinion. In fact they want you shut up and go away.... through this blog I will have my say.... Praise God for that.
